ALBANY, GA -- Albany area retailers want you to know that it is still not too late to get last minute fireworks.

Vendors in the Wal-Mart and K-Mart parking lots say it isn't too late to buy. The 4th of July is usually one of the busier days according to them.

Some fireworks value packs have been selling today priced at upwards of $500.

Fireworks merchants will be open until midnight and often see business pick-up after the Albany fireworks display.
